Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls (P10) – 6.5/10
A thoroughly sensible drive from the rookie to snatch the final spot among the top ten point (before advancing to P9 following Colapinto's post-race penalty). In his first true high-degradation tyre management test, Lindblad kept his head down, minded his rubber, and reaped the rewards of late-race attrition ahead of him. It wasn't flashy, but avoiding rookie mistakes paid off handsomely.
Liam Lawson, Racing Bulls (P9) – 6/10
While he netted more valuable points, Lawson made life much harder for himself than necessary. He overdrove during his opening stint trying to defend his position, cooking his tyres and destroying his strategy. He also accidentally acted as a gravel sniper to Hulkenberg. Good qualifying, but a bit too erratic on Sunday.
